After drying out for a day we headed back out to the rain and played. The rain was much heavier and colder on this night but we responded with a great effort. Due to our loss of key players, everyone responded with that much more effort to play well. |
Due to illness and injuries, we ended up with just two substitutes to end the game. But our grit and determination pulled us through. |
Even though the end result was disappointing, we were very positive on our improvement. |
I see it as a positive step to protect the integrity of the sport. I have always viewed the winter option as detrimental when fall and spring are considered. |
The second half was also filled with solid defense and (scoring) opportunities. But the game ended in a well-earned 0-0 tie. This was a great start to our season and we next host Golden Sierra on Friday. |
The weather was still a factor as the wind was blowing and growing stronger as the game wore on. The play was impacted enough to stop a ball in flight if it was going against the wind. |
The wind picked up. And we didn't deal well with the elements. |
We hope to see lots of people at our games. |
We started the game out very well and, ironically enough, perhaps too well. We connected on a corner kick with Angela Lira striking for the early goal in just the third minute. |
